We decided to try Luna Mare in Ipswich at the suggestion of our friends Susan and Leo. Thought they have been there for just over a year, it was a new experience for all of us. The menu of this Mediterranean style restaurant is wide ranging suited to most tastes. There is a long list of tapas which was very intriguing. We got hummus and olives to start off. Jim ordered one of the tapas: Sultan Delight. Leo got a lovely burrata salad; Susan ordered the paella (a half portion seemed to be plenty) and I ordered the shrimp scampi. I thought the scampi was among the best I’ve had and perfectly portioned.
The wait staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. There’s seating in the bar area as well as a dining area. We were there on a weeknight and the place was very busy. We finished with a couple of desserts to celebrate. They were sinfully rich and yummy. We look forward to trying lunch there soon.
